polycarbonate pin

[Steve Walker]

Steve,

 

I like to stay right up in the faces of pinheads. Most ridiculous piece of kit on the planet. Now as an expensive toy for grown kids - I understand they are not to be trifled with. This has been typed with invisible ink for my personal protection. Invisible ink and a 3000 mile pond should do it

Fly reels and pins are very different beasts.

True enough in the usual sizes, but I am struck with the similarities between my Airflo T7, ( which i use for fly fishing for tarpon, barracuda, permit and similar beasts) and reels such as the Merlin and larger Aerials - when a big fish puts them into "knucklecracker" mode. there is not a lot of difference When the handle(s) become(s) a blur, use the heel of the hand on the rim.

 

A mate of mine, describing a fight with a big trevally said "The second stupidest thing I ever did whilst fishing was to try to slow the fish by putting my thumb on the spool. THE most stupid was, after getting a bad burn, to change hands and then put my other thumb in the same place"

All,

 

I oft fished with a centre pin as a youth, Coke bottle wrapped with sturdy twine - it was.
